Perhaps it is time to take a closer look at Hericium (Lion’s Mane), also known as Lion’s Mane.
Hericium is among the most complex vital mushrooms used in both traditional and modern phytotherapy. It is valued primarily for its effects on the digestive tract, nervous system and immunity.
Active substances in Hericium
Hericium contains:
water-soluble polysaccharides, which participate in immune regulation and exhibit anti-tumour potential
phytosterols – erinacines (e.g., erinacin H), intensively studied for their ability to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF)
erinacines J and K, which exhibit antibiotic activity
ergosterols, minerals and vitamins
How does Hericium work?
1) Digestive tract
Hericium protects and regenerates the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines.
It helps with:
gastritis
gastric and duodenal ulcers
heartburn
nausea
At the same time, it supports overall high-quality and balanced digestion.
